I create art because I have to—it's not a choice, it's a need. It is a release and realization that is necessary for my self-identity in an over stimulating, yet monotonous world. I began my journey through ink, spent some time in watercolor, and I've now landed eagerly in acrylics. This progression has unfolded an exciting new realm of vivid colors and sharp contrast, giving way to the opportunity to revel in light and form. There is an aesthetic that is both my home and my inspiration which continues to delve deeper and develop alongside my observations both internally and externally. I am an ever-evolving human who seeks movement and change, and my art compliments the complications of emotion and trial throughout my life.
